VIVERE NELL’ANTICO EGITTO

gioielli antico Egitto

Seppur gli orafi dell’antico Egitto si specializzarono nelle varie tecniche della lavorazione dell’oro, (filigrana,laminatura,sbalzo), i gioielli egizi rimangono famosi soprattutto per la loro policromia, ottenuta attraverso l’inserzione di pietre dure, quali la corniola e il lapislazzuli.

Si praticava inoltre la tecnica del niello, consistente nel riempire apposite incassature con smalto o pasta vitrea colorata.

Sia gli uomini che le donne di rango indossavano la collana detta usekh, composta da più giri di perle, o le catenine d’oro a cui erano appesi numerosi pendenti.

Le donne portavano inoltre numerosi braccialetti ai polsi,sulle braccia e alle caviglie.
Anelli antico Egitto

Un segno di distinzione era l’anello a sigillo, il cui ampio castone recava inciso il nome del proprietario oppure formule bene auguranti.

Come le pitture tombali, anche i gioielli rispondevano ad un gusto naturalistico: decorazioni floreali, figure di animali reali e fantastici, decoravano ornamenti personali e amuleti.

Dalla XIX alla XXI dinastia, il gusto divenne meno raffinato e i gioielli apparvero più “pesanti” con applicazioni di vetro e faience ovunque, incastonature e placcature.

Comparvero, inoltre, gli orecchini, seguiti poi dagli anelli. Esistevano numerose tecniche di decorazione,di filigrana, d’incastonatura, di colorazione e trattamento dei metalli; lo studio di queste tecniche ha influenzato molto quelle della gioielleria moderna.
